>> .ask gingrich if romney was decent during the GOP primary...

Look, I like Gingrich because I think he was more intelligent than anyone else in the race -- Republican or certainly, Democrat. But he didn't have the temperament.

Romney was the perfect candidate for the job. Not the perfect candidate. But there is little doubt Romney would have been far better for the country.

But the reality is Romney probably would not have had any opportunity to work with Congress because of the Senate Democrats' intransigence and the incompetent leadership of Reid. Still, we'd have been far better off with a competent president and incompetent Senate leader than we are with both being incompetent.

Barack Obama has no skills or qualifications for the office he holds. Before 2008, no one in his right mind would have hired the guy -- even as an attorney, which was the reason he was in this phoney role of "community organizer." He just wasn't qualified to do anything else.

Obama has accomplished nothing legislatively; his sole attribution is Obamacare, which he had nothing at all to do with other than signing it into law after and claiming credit for it. He wasn't in the room, in the loop, or even talking with Reid about it on the phone. It was handed to him and he was told to sign it, and he did. And it is an utter mess.

This is where your party politics has brought us. I don't know of a damned thing to do about it.
